ME AI message, Dongcha Beating AI Brief: The ZCode code upload controversy has escalated from the developer community to enterprise clients. Taiyuan Chengming Technology sent a letter to Zhipu stating that ZCode’s automatic uploads did not consist of minor code snippets, but rather project archives containing full source code, Git history, database passwords, cloud service credentials, and employee personal information. The company demands that Zhipu delete all uploaded data, clarify where the data was sent, and provide proof of deletion. Zhipu has previously apologized, attributing the issue to its “code repository indexing” feature, which was enabled by default during its initial rollout and may have uploaded repository data when generating Repo Wiki. Zhipu claims that any related data was immediately destroyed after use, the issue has since been resolved, and it has pledged to open-source ZCode and invite third-party audits. (Source: BlockBeats)
